About Loyal Retainers
Loyal Retainers, Creature — human advisor, designed by Solomon Au Yeung first released in May, 1999 in the set Portal Three Kingdoms and was printed exactly in 11 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.79. It's a key card in 4 combos.
Loyal Retainers is particularly beneficial in a deck that focuses on legendary creatures, especially those that have powerful enter-the-battlefield effects or are game-winning threats, such as those found in Commander or EDH formats. It synergizes well with decks that can generate value from recurring key legendary creatures, such as those featuring recursion strategies or graveyard manipulation. While there are other cards like Phyrexian Reclamation or Sun Titan that can also bring creatures back from the graveyard, Loyal Retainers' ability to return legendary creatures specifically at instant speed during your turn adds a unique tactical advantage. Overall, it should see play in decks built around legendary creatures, but its effectiveness will depend on the specific synergy and strategy of the deck.
